What We’re Reading
The Color Line. Cody Dalton Eyre was 20 when he was killed by police in Alaska <[link removed]>. His family want you to remember his name. You know about the racial wealth gap, but you can't solve it without tackling the jobs gap <[link removed]>, though even wealthy Black Americans experience discrimination in finance <[link removed]>.
Oh, the Urbanity. San Francisco's troubled Salesforce Park <[link removed]> is a reflection of San Francisco's larger woes, while this intergenerational history of Washington Heights <[link removed]> explores another microcosm of a larger city. And in cities across the country, cyclists and pedestrians are dying <[link removed]> and the media acts like it's their fault.
